Very interesting. Thank you.
I guess Cleopatra really did have herself smuggled into Julius Caesar's chambers due to her and her brother feuding. We see the scene play out in Elizabeth Taylor's movie "Cleopatra".
She also killed herself after her lover Mark Anthony killed himself after learning falsely she was dead. I wonder if this is where Shakespeare got the ending to Romeo and Juliet from.
I believe it was and doesn't art often imitate history?
